While Israel is libeled daily as "starving Gaza," the Palestinian Authority itself has revealed that Hamas is the one systematically depriving the population of food and aid, terrorizing local businesses and institutions, and preying on grieving families for profit:

The [PA] presidential office expressed its opposition and sharp condemnation of the acts of looting and theft that gangs are committing in the warehouses of humanitarian aid that is being presented to our people in the Gaza Strip, foremost among them the Hamas gangs.
 
It emphasized that our Palestinian people will not forgive these gangs for their shameful crimes, which they are committing at its difficult time specifically in the Gaza Strip. The presidential office emphasized that all these gangs and those affiliated with them are known to our people, and that they will be at the top of the blacklist to hold them accountable and punish them by law at the appropriate time."
